Ready to learn crochet, want to brush up on some forgotten skills, or just need help with a project? I have been crocheting since i was 9 years old and teaching all ages for nearly 15 years and would love to get your (yarn) ball rolling! Specializing in pattern reading and writing, troubleshooting, improvisation, and more. No question is too big or too small! I believe that crochet is easier to pick up than knitting, so this is a great place to start for kids or first time yarn crafters and I encourage anyone to learn crochet as well if they want to pick up knitting someday.

I learned how to play chess when I was ten years old. I learn different technics and strategies from different teachers. I have 20 years of playing chess every day, and I had participated in national and international tournaments.
